Confirmations About Malik Nadal Hasan: Muslim Convert, Anguished Over Deployment
Tweet
Although most responsible news outlets are withholding the name of the deceased shooter in the Fort Hood military base massacre in Texas, we can confirm that he was a military officer, an Army Major from Virginia, who had converted to Islam.
Sources state that the officer was to be deployed to the Iraq War and was extremely upset about it.
It is unclear as to any direct connection between the deceased suspect and Al Qaeda. We do know, however, that radical Muslims will often recruit military personnel not only for conversion to Islam but for carrying out acts of terrorism against the U.S. military…from within.
The objective is to infiltrate military bases and the ranks of the armed forces for the specific purpose of ‘taking them out from within.’
As a group of soldiers were preparing to be deployed to Iraq from Fort Hood in a special commissioning ceremony today, the officer opened fire killing 12 follow soldiers and injuring 32 others. A local police officer who was on contract with the military to provide law enforcement at the base shot and killed the suspect. At least 2 others involved in the shooting have been apprehended. It is unclear as to the level of involvement of the 2 or whether or not other suspects are at large.
Always a reliable source when it comes to Islamic terrorism, Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs, is providing continually updated information.
